General Paediatrics

Heart murmurs in children are common and often harmless. They’re extra sounds heard during a heartbeat and can be innocent or caused by an underlying heart condition. Most murmurs in children don’t need treatment and may disappear over time. However, it’s essential for parents to have their child evaluated by a pediatrician if a murmur is detected during a check-up. The doctor will determine if further testing or monitoring is necessary to ensure the child’s heart health.
